Rather than put a contract out for bid, the Volusia County School Board is leaning toward hiring an in-house school board attorney.

The board discussed its options for legal representation at its workshop on Tuesday, April 9. The current contract with the Doran Sims Wolfe and Yoon firm is set to end on June 30. Aaron Wolfe, the current school board attorney, has represented the board since September 2022. He replaced former school board attorney Ted Doran.

Volusia County has historically retained outside counsel to represent the board. School District Attorney Kevin Pendley, an in-house position, and the Office of General Counsel, handle internal matters of the district administration and report to the superintendent.
